FYI

Question 3

To develop and implement an effective exercise intervention, a therapist must understand several things.

Answer 3

The relationship between physical function and disability and appreciate how the application of the process of disablement to patient/client management facilitates the provision of effective and efficient health care services.

Question 11

What are the 5 Components of Patient/Client Management?

Answer 11

1. exam
2. eval
3. dx
4. px
5. intervention

Question 12

What are the components of physical function?

Answer 12

1. balance
2. cardiopulmonary fitness
3. coordination
4. flexibility
5. mobility
6. muscle performance
7. neuromuscular control
8. postural control, postural stability, equilibrium
9. stability

Question 13

The ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body (center of mass) within the available BOS without falling; the abiltiy to move the body in equilibrium with gravity via interaction of the sensory and motor systems

Answer 13

Balance

Question 14

the ability to perform moderate-intensity, repetitive, total body movements (walking, joffing, cycling, swimming) over an extended period of time.

Answer 14

Cardiopulmonary fitness or also called cardiopulmonary endurance

Question 15

The correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of muscular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding, and grading of movement. It is the basis of smooth, accurate, efficient movement and occurs at a conscious or atomatic level

Answer 15

Coordination

Question 16

the abiltiy to move freely, without restriction; used interchangeably with mobility.

Answer 16

flexibility
